I felted a couple of shoes again. This time with less success.

I used another yarn. and though all yarn is different, I cannot blame the yarn. I simply made a couple of mistakes and experienced a couple of mishaps.


My story might help you though, so here it is.

Felting - pink shoes
This is my first time felting anything in the washing machine. - At least on purpose.

So, I'm clearly not an expert, BUT! - If you are like me, you would think, this was time consuming and difficult.

It was a piece of cake and amusing too!
I am definitely going to try this again soon.

This is how it works...

A very easy way to make a hat is making it sideways. You simply crochet a long rectangle and sew the ends and the top. And there you have a hat.


I'll show you how to do that and how to figure out the right sizes.

Everyone is asking for patterns for easy and warm hats.

Even if you are a beginner, you might not need a pattern. At least not if you just want something simple. Here is a guide you can follow and make great rounded hats from.

Crochet Basket Weave Pattern
Front Post and Back Post crochet stitches add a nice relief effect to your work.

Among others you can use them to make basket weave stitch patterns, cable-work and ribbed stitch patterns. The ribbed stitch patterns even comes with a little flexibility.

(If you want a very flexible rib, look for The Top Stitch Rib post here).

Are you new to the Loop Stitch? - Or does your Loop Stitch work fall apart? :/
Here is a tutorial that works.

The Loop Stitch is a fun stitch to do and it gives you a great different texture, that can be used with all kinds of items. You decide whether you want the loops as they are, or if you want to cut them, when you are done.

Use the Loop Stitch for a rug, a pillow, amigurumi figures OR what about a Christmas beard?
